She was a fun-loving, free-spirited, beautiful woman, not only on the outside but inside where it counts, a former model who dearly loved her children. Her pastimes included participation in the Manitou Springs Drum Circle held on Thursday evenings in Manitou's Memorial Park, as well as caring about and helping others less fortunate.
